Once in a Full Moon: Review

Once in a Full Moon

by Ellen Schreiber

Celeste hangs with the popular crowd at Legend's Run High and is being wooed byNash Hunter, the football quarterback, but doesn't really feel that shebelongs. She only comes in contact with the new and enigmatic student, Brandon Maddox, when she passes him in classes, the hallway, and at lunch, but she suspects there is something different about him other than that he is a Westsider and comes from the wrong side of town.

On a dare, Celeste and her friends go to a psychic's shop for a reading. When it is Celeste's turn for a fortune, the psychic grabs Celeste's hands and warns, "Beware of a kiss under the full moon." Celeste and her friends laugh and mock the fortune teller. But on her way home from their outing, Celeste is blinded by a blizzard. Disoriented, she finds herself deep in the woods bordering town. She is overcome by snowfall and unable to see anything. Above her hovers the glow of a full moon. Just then, she sees beady eyes staring back through the falling flakes. She finds herself in the midst of a pack of hungry wolves. The wolves begin to howl. She can't outrun them, and the shortest tree branch is out of reach. They slowly approach her. At the last moment, a stranger pulls her from the hungry pack. He grabs a branch and fights the pack ofwolves until they retreat. In the scuffle the stranger is bitten. It is Brandon Maddox.

Celeste is enamored by her hero and can't get him out of her mind. Where Nash is a hero on the field and court, Brandon is a hero in reality. Celeste steals away from her friends to find Brandon, and they meet on a hilltop near his home. A cloudy sky lingers above them, and Celeste realizes she has fallen in love with a Westsider. But in the next few moments, Celeste will face an even biggerchallenge than falling for a guy from the wrong side of town. As the two lean in to kiss, the clouds pass, exposing the glow of a full moon. Brandon feels strange and pulls away. Something is about to change-him.

First Line: It began under the haunting glow of a full moon.

Favorite line/quote: "Beware of a kiss under the full moon. It will change your life forever".

My Review: I found this book to be extremely predictable and at times it felt like every other story out there in the Young Adult Paranormal genre. I did enjoy the fact that Ellen Schreiber gave teen readers a main character to look up to. Celeste volunteers at the elder home in her town. I think this sets a good example that today's teens need to give more to others than of themselves. But the very next page you find Celeste going along with the flow just to please her friends, afraid to rock the boat. In doing this Celeste comes off as a follower instead of a leader.

If you are hoping to read a deep, thought provoking story, this is not the book for you. While it has a bit more depth than Shreiber's "Vampire Kisses" series it remains fluff. A quick, enjoyable read that won't hold a lasting place in your heart.

My Rating: 3 stars

I would like to thank Net Galley for the chance to review Once in a Full Moon.

This book is set to releast 12/28/2010

Until next time...

Dead in the Family: Review

Dead in the Family

(Sookie Stackhouse / Southern Vampire Series #10)

by Charlaine Harris

After enduring torture and the loss of loved ones during the brief but deadly Faery War, Sookie Stackhouse is hurt and she's angry. Just about the only bright spot in her life is the love she thinks she feels for vampire Eric Northman. But he's under scrutiny by the new Vampire King because of their relationship. And as the political implications of the Shifters coming out are beginning to be felt, Sookie's connection to the Shreveport pack draws her into the debate. Worst of all, though the door to Faery has been closed, there are still some Fae on the human side-and one of them is angry at Sookie. Very, very angry...

First Line: " I feel bad that I am leaving you like this," Amelia said.

My Review: Disappointed! I feel like I waited forever to read this book and was let down royally by it. The story dragged and never picked up for me. With that being said it will not stop me from reading any other book that is put out in this series. I have faith in Charlaine Harris to make a come back

Rating: 3 stars

The Vampire Diaries: The Fury and Dark Reunion

The Vampire Diaries:

The Fury and Dark Reunion

By L.J. Smith

Elena: transformed, the golden girl has become what she once feared and desired.

Stefan: tormented by losing Elena, he's determined to end his feud with Damon once and for all—whatever the cost. But slowly he begins to realize that his brother is not his only enemy.

Damon: at last, he possesses Elena. But will his thirst for revenge against Stefan poison his triumph? Or can they come together to face one final battle?

Collected here in one edition are the third and fourth volumes of The Vampire Diaries, a riveting conclusion to the tale of two vampire brothers and the beautiful girl torn between them.

This is a much darker story than the first two books in the series. I thought I had the story line pegged when it came to Dark Reunion, and was mad because I thought it was just too predictable... wrong! I was wrong, and I don't say that often, lol!

Makes me wonder what I would do if I was in any of these characters shoes, I suppose you just find the strength when evil is breathing down your neck, no pun intended... well maybe a little!

It is going to be awhile before I pick up the other book in this series, because I am sure there is going to be a long wait at the library, heading to put it on my list now.

Dead and Gone: Review

Dead and Gone

(Sookie Stackhouse / Southern Vampire Series #9)

by Charlaine Harris

Synopsis:

For Sookie Stackhouse, the day to day activities of the vampire and were communities in and around Bon Temps, Louisiana, are of vital interest, She's blood-bound to the leader of the vamps, a friend to the local were pack, works for a man who is shifter, and has a brother who is a were-panther…
But for most of the humans in Bon Temps, the vamps are mysterious seductive creatures-and they don't even know about the weres.
Until now. The weres and shifters have finally decided to follow the lead of the undead and reveal their existence to the ordinary world.
At first it seems to go well. Then the mutilated body of a were-panther is found in the parking lot of the bar where Sookie works. The victim is someone she knows, so she feels compelled to discover who-human or otherwise-did the deed.

But what she doesn't realize is that there is a far greater danger than the killer threatening Bon Temps. A race of unhuman beings--older, more powerful and far more secretive than vampires or werewolves-- is preparing for war. And Sookie will find herself an all-too human pawn in their battle…

Just when you think there couldn't possibly be any more drama in Sookie's life and for the town she lives in.... WRONG! Charlaine Harris is fantastic when it comes to writing about these characters, at times you have to remind yourself that these characters are not real! It is so easy to relate and feel for the characters she writes about, and the ones in this book are no different. The cliff hanger left at the end of this book makes you wish time flew by so you could get you hands on the next book in the series! Kudos to Charlaine Harris

I feel compelled to mention that this book is by far more graphic than the others in the series, just don't want to lead any readers to a book that might leave them uneasy, so I will lay this out there.

I am giving Dead and Gone 5 stars and it falls into these reading challenges...

From Dead to Worse: Review

From Dead to Worse

(Sookie Stackhouse / Southern Vampire Series #8)

by Charlaine Harris

Synopsis:
New in the "addicting" New York Times bestselling series featuring Sookie Stackhouse.

After the natural disaster of Hurricane Katrina and the manmade explosion at the vampire summit, everyone—human and otherwise—is stressed, including Louisiana cocktail waitress Sookie Stackhouse, who is trying to cope with the fact that her boyfriend Quinn has gone missing.

It's clear that things are changing—whether the weres and vamps of her corner of Louisiana like it or not. And Sookie—Friend to the Pack and blood-bonded to Eric Northman, leader of the local vampire community—is caught up in the changes.

In the ensuing battles, Sookie faces danger, death, and once more, betrayal by someone she loves. And when the fur has finished flying and the cold blood finished flowing, her world will be forever altered.

This book has tons of action going on and many story lines to follow. I couldn't read this book fast enough, I just kept going and before I knew it I was done with it!

Eclipse: Review

Eclipse

by Stephenie Meyer

Synopsis:
Edward’s soft voice came from behind me.

I turned to see him spring lightly up the porch steps, his hair windblown from running. He pulled me into his arms at once, just like he had in the parking lot, and kissed me again. This kiss frightened me. There was too much tension, too strong an edge to the way his lips crushed mine–like he was afraid we had only so much time left to us.

As Seattle is ravaged by a string of mysterious killings and a malicious vampire continues her quest for revenge, Bella once again finds herself surrounded by danger. In the midst of it all, she is forced to choose between her love for Edward and her friendship with Jacob–knowing that her decision has the potential to ignite the ageless struggle between vampire and werewolf. With her graduation quickly approaching, Bella has one more decision to make: life or death. But which is which?

I CALL DIBS ON EDWARD!! I win, I said it first! That is my review of this book. Eclipse is getting (duh) 5 stars and falls into these reading challenges....

All Together Dead: Review

All Together Dead

(Sookie Stackhouse / Southern Vampire Series #7)

by Charlaine Harris

Synopsis
Betrayed by her longtime vampire love, Louisiana cocktail waitress Sookie Stackhouse must now not only deal with a possible new man in her life-the oh-so-handsome shapeshifter Quinn-but also contend with a long-planned vampire summit. With her power base weakened by hurricane damage to New Orleans, the local vampire queen is vulnerable to those hungry for a takeover. Soon, Sookie must decide what side she'll stand with. And her choice may mean the difference between survival and all-out catastrophe.

Charlaine Harris Sookie Stackhouse series just gets better and better with each passing book. Her characters are hot! And yet you have no problem connecting with them, which is one of the most important thing an author needs to do. They need to make you feel something for the characters. Kudos to Charlaine in this book. This book is clever quick witted and overall a great read. Man the choices Sookie has to make, makes my choices seem dull! Okay they are dull! LO!

New Moon: Review

New Moon

by Stephenie Meyer

Synopsis:

I FELT LIKE I WAS TRAPPED IN ONE OF THOSE TERRIFYING NIGHTMARES…For Bella Swan, there is one thing more important than life itself: Edward Cullen. But being in love with a vampire is even more dangerous than Bella ever could have imagined. Edward has already rescued Bella from the clutches of one evil vampire, but now, as their daring relationship threatens all that is near and dear to them, they realize their troubles may be just beginning. . . . Legions of readers entranced by the New York Times bestseller Twilight are hungry for the continuing story of star-crossed lovers Bella and Edward. In New Moon, Stephenie Meyer delivers another irresistible combination of romance and suspense with a supernatural spin. Passionate, riveting, and full of surprising twists and turns, this vampire love saga is well on its way to literary immortality.

There, I humored you all, I gave the synopsis this time. New Moon is the second book in the Twilight series ( for those who are not in the no). Since I am not going to review this book because the fact that I have already read it once should prove that I love this series, I thought I would tell you what these books do to me. They are long books... like 500+ pages ( closer to the 600 range than the 500 range), but I read each book in 24 hours. I can't put them down, and when I do finally let myself go to bed at night, the story continues in my dreams, it haunts me ( in a good way). Even if I put the book down a hour or two before I go to bed, it will keep me awake, so why bother, I read up until my eyes will no longer stay open.

I am not sure if other's have the same thing happen when they read this book, but I am hooked. I will have my popcorn and diet coke in hand and I will be there on Nov 20th with my girlfriends, and I might even throw dirty looks at the young teeny boppers! HA HA HA

Shocker I am giving New Moon 5 stars and it falls into these challenges...

Dead to the World: Review

Dead to the World

(Sookie Stackhouse / Southern Vampire Series #4)

by Charlaine Harris

Synopsis:

When cocktail waitress Sookie Stackhouse sees a naked man on the side of the road, she doesn't just drive on by. Turns out the poor thing hasn't a clue who he is, but Sookie does. It's Eric the vampire--but now he's a kinder, gentler Eric. And a scared Eric, because whoever took his memory now wants his life.

Ladies, would we not take Eric anyway we could get him, but yowzer, nicer and gentler.... is it too good to be true?

I loved this book because it was nice to see the focus being on a smaller character, Eric. Seeing him and Sookie play out their relationship ( in whatever form it takes) is a nice turn in the story line, clean and fresh!

Club Dead: Review

Club Dead

(Sookie Stackhouse / Southern Vampire Series #3)

by Charlaine Harris

From Booklist:

Sookie Stackhouse is having man trouble. Her vampire boyfriend, Bill, has been distant and inattentive lately. Then he announces that he is going on a business trip, which clearly is more than it seems. After a werewolf tries to abduct Sookie at work, Bill's boss, Eric, tells her that Bill fell under the sway of his--Bill's, that is--ex, a sexy vamp named Lorena, and has been kidnapped. Eric wants Sookie's help in getting Bill back, and despite her hurt over Bill's betrayal, Sookie agrees to go to Jackson, Mississippi, to find her wayward lover. Eric has persuaded Alcide, a dashing werewolf, to get Sookie access to Josephine's, aka Club Dead, the local hangout of Jackson's supernatural element. In between dodging kidnappers, the advances of amorous Eric, and her growing feelings for Alcide, Sookie has to find out who kidnapped Bill and figure out a way to rescue him.

Just when you thought there was no room for more supernatural characters in the series, Charlaine Harris proves she can make room! This book has it all if you are into paranormal characters! how come Sookie gets all the dudes, who cares if they are Vampires and now a Werewolf, a hot dude is a hot dude!

Club Dead is getting 4 stars from me and it falls into these reading challenges....

Living Dead in Dallas: Review

Living Dead in Dallas

(Sookie Stackhouse / Southern Vampire Series #2)
by Charlaine Harris

Product Description:

When a vampire asks Sookie Stackhouse to use her telepathic skills to find another missing vampire, she agrees under one condition: the bloodsuckers must promise to let the humans go unharmed.

I hate to do this, because I love doing my book reviews, but I am so far behind, that I need to get caught up so I am going to make it short and sweet.

Charlaine Harris did it again, this series is awesome and I love that I read this book before the show on HBO got into this story line. It is fun to see how things differ from the show and the book.

Undead and Unwelcome: Review

Undead and Unwelcome

by Mary Janice Davidson

Betsy Taylor has problems that only a vampire queen/suburban wife could possibly understand. Such as taking the body of her werewolf friend Antonia—who died in her service—to Cape Cod, where she's not sure if the Wyndham werewolves will welcome her with fangs or friendship. Meanwhile, her posse back in St. Paul is sending frantic e-mails alerting Betsy to her half-sister's increasingly erratic behavior. Looks like the devil's daughter is coming into her own—and raising hell.

Tsk Tsk Tsk!

I love this series, and waited on pins nad needles for me turn at the library to get my hands on a copy of this book. It fell short! Just seemed rushed and not thought out.

Queen Betsy, I expect so much more out of you...

I am giving this book 2 stars!

Undead and Unworthy: Review

Undead and Unworthy by Mary Janice Davidson

" Betsy Taylor thought entering the world of the unded was a big adjustment. Being a new bride isn't much easier. The blush has only been on for two months, and Betsy has a lot to do: set up the new house, finish writing thank-you notes, and raise BabyJon, her half brother and legal ward. Just another happy American family adjusting to marital bliss.

" Betsy's husband, Sinclair, has been perusing the Book of the Dead, and Betsy visited by a ghost who's even more insufferable, stubborn, and annoying in death than she was in life. She not only blames Betsy for her condition but insists she fix it. It's all just a prelude to the fun and games awaiting Betsy and Sinclair when a pack of formerly feral vampires, hungry for blood and power, pays a visit to the happy couple.

WELCOME TO MARRIED LIFE, BETSY!

Okay, so I'll admit I was with the others ( you can find them anywhere) that was on the fence about the new art work on the cover of this book. It just doesn't match with the imagine I had of Queen Betsy. Mary Janice Davidson must have forseen her fans questioning the new cover work because she even writes about it at the start of the book. She says it has to do with the new direction she is taking the series. " Just as the first six books in tghe series were thier own story arc, so the next three books will be an arc.... think of this book as the first of a trilogy within a series".

Okay on to my review of this book, it was just alright! I had higher hopes for it. It still had the humor that the other books had, but it was just missing something. The others were faster reads, and I am shocked at the ending of this book and I of course can't go into more details because this blog will never ever spoil a book for the readers.

With all of that said, yes I will still read the other two that are coming out, because I would love to see this series through to the end.

I give this book 3 stars!

Undead and Uneasy: Review

Undead and Uneasy by Mary Janice Davidson is the 6th book in the series about Betsy, Queen of the Vampires.

" You are cordially invited to the wedding of Elizabeth Anne Taylor and Sinclair

607 Summit Avenue

Midnight

July 4,2007

RSVP by June 25, and don't be one of those jerks who doesn't RSVP and then shows up with three people. Seriously.

" In the days leading up to The Big Day, Vampire Queen Betsy Taylor seems to have a full house- and the wedding guests have yet to arrive. Along with her human buddies, there's a ghost, a werewolf, and a Fiend crashing at her place. And though her finance, Vampire King Eric Sinclair, convenient disappears when the conversation turns to seating charts and flower arrangements, he does manage to make his oh-so-sexy presence known at other moments.

" Betsy knows the next few weeks won't be smooth sailing- but she never expects just what's in store for her. Cold feet are no surprise, especially with an undead groom. But when Sinclair truly goes missing-and- not just to avoid wedding preparations- along with most of her friends and loved ones. Betsy is frantic. Alone and afraid for the fate of everyone she loves, Betsy can't trust anyone as she tries to find them and whoever is behind all the disappearance."


"And what happens next will shake the foundation of the vampire world forever in the best selling series that "breath[es] new life into conventional vampire lore".

In this book, Queen B has her skills as the Vampire Queen to the test, does she have what it takes...

Oh yes she does!! I was reading this book in the courtyard of my sons school waiting for him to get out of class, and I actually laughed out loud that another mom came up to me to see what I was reading! I love when a book actually gets you to laugh out loud, or cry... any kind of physical emotion... the best!

What will one girl do for loved ones.... pick up this book and find out! I give this book 4 1/2 stars... oohhhh that might be the highest rank I have given so far.

Undead and Unpopular: Review

" I tapped my pencil on the pad, trying to come up with a plan to tell my fiance, Eric Sinclair, that I had decided to completely give up the blood-drinking thing. I figured being the vampire queen had a few advantages- as it was, every vampire I'd ever known had to drink every day, even Eric. But I could go up to a week without so much as a drop of O-neg. So, in honor of my birthday, and being in this job for a year, I figured I'd give it up completely. I would be in a blood-free zone!"


" Vampire Queen Betsy Taylor already has plenty on her plate. For one thing, next week is her birthday- the big 3-1 in human years, and one in undead years. ( Yes, she bit the dust on her birthday last year). On top of that, she still has wedding plans to finalize- and it's not helping that the prospective groom is avoiding anything to do with it. And them there's her decision to stop drinking blood- something she has yet to share with Eric Sinclair, her fiance- who also happens to be the vampire king....
" So the last thing she wants to deal with is uninvited guests, even if they happen to be the powerful European vampires who have finally come to pay their respects the week before her birthday. Some of them don't want Betsy as their queen and will do anything to get rid of her. As if turning thirty last year ( not to mention dying) hadn't been traumatic enough. And trying to give up blood is making her really cranky... But who has time to sulk?"

Mary Janice Davidson is back in full swing in this book! I knew she could do it! This book was back to it's quicky self. Queen Betsy never has a good week, in fact with each passing week she has, she is certain it is the worst week of her undead life! I found myself feeling a lot of different emotions while reading this book, sad, amused and always entertained! I am giving this book 4 stars on my rating system, in case you haven't noticed, I don't give 5 stars very easily!
